<h1>Creating a contents file
</h1>

<p>You make a table of contents by creating a contents (.hhc) file.
</p>
<h3>Notes</h3>
<ul>
<li>
If you <A HREF="tripane.htm">design a help system using the Help Viewer</A>, adding a contents file to your help project creates the <B>Contents</B> tab in the Navigation pane of the Help Viewer once the project is compiled.
<BR>
<li>
If you design for a Web site or your own frameset, make sure you <A HREF="htaxin.htm">add the HTML Help ActiveX control</A> to the appropriate files and <A HREF="cntfr.htm">specify a default frame</A> to display your contents file.
</li>
</ul>
